Assessment of between-floor structural and topological properties on cognitive map development in multilevel built environments

The present study investigated cognitive map development in multilevel built environments. Three experiments were conducted in complex virtual buildings to examine the effects of five between-floor structural factors that may impede the accuracy of humans’ ability to build multilevel cognitive maps. Results from Experiments 1 and 2 (of three experiments) revealed that difficulties in developing multilevel cognitive maps are not solely caused by the z-axis offset, as is suggested in the literature, but are due to the factorial combination of a between-floor overlap and a z-axis offset. Results from Experiment 2 showed that this process becomes substantially more difficult when the reference directions between different floors have an angular offset from each other. Finally, results from Experiment 3 demonstrated that confusing between-floor heading shifts in aligned buildings did not make it reliably harder to build multilevel cognitive maps. The implications of these findings are discussed in terms of theories of mental representations in multilayered three-dimensional spaces, as well as for architectural design.     

面向多属性条件的空间对象检索算法

针对现有空间索引不能满足多样化的检索需求,提出两种新型空间索引,能够同时面向空间属性、文本属性与划分属性进行空间对象检索。将分类技术应用于空间对象检索中,提出了基于划分索引与IR-Tree的混合索引以及先划分索引再IR-Tree的索引方法,不仅满足了多样化的空间检索需求,而且有效地解决了传统空间索引更新维护代价大的问题。基于真实的北京市POI数据集进行实验,结果表明本文提出两种索引是有效的且检索效率高。与传统空间索引相比,提出的空间索引很好地解决了具有划分属性的空间对象检索问题,并且具有较高的检索效率。

Modeling visuospatial reasoning

I apply my proposed modification of Soar/Spatial/Visual System and Kosslyn’s (1983) computational operations on images to problems within a 2 × 2 taxonomy that classifies research according to whether the coding involves static or dynamic relations within an object or between objects (Newcombe & Shipley, 2015). I then repeat this analysis for problems that are included in mathematics and science curricula. Because many of these problems involve reasoning from diagrams Hegarty’s (2011) framework for reasoning from visual-spatial displays provides additional support for organizing this topic. Two more relevant frameworks specify reasoning at different levels of abstraction (Reed, 2016) and with different combinations of actions and objects (Reed, 2018). The article concludes with suggestions for future directions.     

A systematic spatial bias in remembering eye positions

Categorical bias in location memory in geometric spaces is well established. The present study assessed the presence of the bias in locating eyes in images of human faces. Participants were presented with digital faces and indicated the position of one of the eyes in both upright and inverted orientations. Biases resulted from participants using multiple sources of accessible information. No differences were found for upright vs. inverted face images. Overall, the data were consistent with the retrieval category adjustment model. These distortions may be considered within the forensic context, when eyewitnesses work with a sketch artist or use a computer program to generate an image of the culprit.

Coordinating signs and eye gaze in the depiction of directions and spatial scenes by fluent and L2 signers of Norwegian Sign Language

The current study investigates the coordination of signs and eye gaze during depictions of directions and spatial scenes by fluent and second language (L2) signers of Norwegian Sign Language. First, findings show that fluent and L2 signers make different choices regarding the perspective they use to depict spatial scenes. Second, there is variation within and across groups in relation to how eye gaze is directed during these depictions. Findings suggest that eye gaze is used to establish a vantage point upon a depicted scene, but L2 learners may not always engage in this type of coordination. This study contributes to our understanding of how visual perspective is depicted in signed languages and has implications for signed language pedagogy.

针对工程中截尾概率变量与非概率变量同时存在的情况,给出一种新的截尾概率与非概率混合可靠性模型。在该混合可靠性模型基础上,按照可靠性指标(RIA)法给出双层嵌套可靠性优化模型,并采用改进搜索策略后的ST-Powell优化算法在外层搜索设计变量的最优值,内层采用能保证收敛的改进的有限步长迭代法求解混合可靠性指标。数值算例表明,改进搜索策略后的ST-Powell优化算法的全局寻优性得到显著提升;改进搜索策略后的ST-Powell优化算法与改进的有限步长迭代法相结合求解双层嵌套混合可靠性优化模型的正确性得到验证,且对于非线性程度较高的极限状态函数同样能够得到满足截尾概率与非概率混合可靠性模型指标要求的最优解,并对工程结构算例具有很好的适应性。
